Sweden Lives By Its Own Rules… (16 PICS)

Posted in PICTURES       7 Aug 2021       4940       24 GALLERY VIEW

“In Sweden, we have trash cans with WiFi.”

"Great, now I can sit next to this trashcan for a few hours!"

 

"In Sweden, they have their own measurement of volume."

"It’s a centiliter. This is a soda can of 33 cl, which is 0.33 liters."

 

"Insurance companies return the money to their clients if the income plan is exceeded."

“I received a letter from my insurance company. The message is this: ’Last year, we earned way more than we had expected, so we return some of the profit to our clients. Your 245 crowns will be returned to your account.’ I was shocked.”

 

"Abandoned bicycles in Sweden get a second life through an interesting method."

“Sweden would be a totally different country if it didn’t recycle everything. Once a year, all abandoned bicycles get an orange sticker, and if the owner doesn’t take the bicycle, a special service removes it.

Then these bicycles end up at thrift stores where anyone can buy one they like for a good price. Everyone is happy and the streets are clean.”

"In Uppsala, there’s a road sign that reads, “Careful, cat with kittens is crossing the road.”"

"Only in Sweden can you get a reminder on an ice cream pack to recycle it after using."
“One of the key details in sustainable community design here in Sweden is underground separated waste management vacuum tubes.”
“In supermarkets, we have paper bags instead of plastic ones. They are thick and can be used for compost later.”

“We collect organic waste too. As you can see, you can put meat, fish, tea, coffee, vegetables, and bread into it. Very convenient, actually.”

"In Sweden, there is an island of Vrango where cars are not allowed."

“This island is just 1 hour away from Göteborg. Cars are not allowed there and the population is about 400 people.”

 

"A waste recycle station right at someone’s apartment building"

“We have an apartment recycle room and these cool tubes for waste, compost, and newspaper/papers.”

 

"In Sweden, buying sweets is a lottery."

“This candy and marmalade are sold by weight. They can be sweet, sour, salty, really salty, or spicy, and there are vegan ones. There’s also licorice. It can be sweet, salty, or spicy.”

 

“Sweden: a mini-library right in front of a supermarket! Love this Swedish culture of love for libraries and books.”

“Why do Swedish houses always look amazing? Do you guys get taught it in school?”
"Almost every pet is insured and registered, and dogs don’t wear muzzles."

"Because there are very few homeless pets in Sweden, getting a pet is a big and important step, so the future owners are really responsible about it, and they usually get insurance for their pets because vet clinics are extremely expensive."

 

"Here in Sweden, the ice-cream truck goes around. All. Year. Long."

"I’m moving there just for that alone"

 

"Also, Sweden is incredibly beautiful."

Eric, while all this is correct, in almost every other country those bottles or cans are called "zero thirty-thirties" as a loud spoken 0,33 instead of "thrity three cl"

#4 The thing with orange stickers on bicycles is also done in Germany, although I do not know if it's done on a yearly basis and in every county/city.

Apart from the underground vacuum waste management system and maybe the wifi trash cans, pretty much all of this can be found in other European countries. And centiliters are a metric unit, because using the metric system is what makes sense. And the same way that Sweden changed to right hand drive in 1967, countries still using the imperial system should consider switching to the metric system, because hey, changing to a system that actually makes sense or is more functional is possible!

You can also look forward to no-go zones and having one of the highest rates of rape in Europe thanks to their importation of engineers and doctors.

Vessie,

Go back to your own no-go zone of 8chan please. You crank up the negative racist nonsense rate on Izismile thanks to your delusional self-importance.

sweden has a lot of great things but also a lot of problems they dont want to address , news from different countries(tim pool usa and,sky news australia) were attacked simply for trying to report from an immigrant neighbourhood in sweden,i live in switzerland with 25%immigrants one the highest in west europe and this would be unthinkable to be happening here what i try to say is that the problems in sweden are much worse than many like to admit but also less worse as the far right likes to suggest.....

Many of these item make it seem that the author thinks Sweden is the only country in the world that recycles or uses paper rather than plastic. You need to get out more.

Ot doesn't say that anywhere. Purely your own perception.

Ellswood, yes and Sweden also make great chocolats, cheese with holes in it, have the richest banks in the world and the supercollider.

I drove past a sign this weekend that said "Please drive slow and lookout for the wild kids and tame animals".
